Our most popular classes are indoor cycling, step aerobics, and Zumba. Yes, step aerobics! Three years ago, attendance at step was very low. We changed our instruction to "basic step" to really teach members the moves. Now, members are excited about it, can do some advanced moves, and it rivals Zumba for our 5:30 p.m. prime-time attendance.

MELT is a connective tissue self-treatment technique, and a group class has a very inward orientation. People leave the class saying that they feel as if they had a massage, are better aligned and are often reporting effects that lasts well beyond the class.

Spin, Zumba, and bootcamp are the most popular but attendance goes in waves. Yoga is also popular, but I am finding that those who come to the yoga class are not looking for the typical "gym" yoga class. They are looking more for the mind/body experience. Although I give them a good work out in class, I teach life lessons, give them focus through quotes, and endeavor to get them into a total relaxation experience. They like to be worked out, but they really seem to gravitate to the life lessons and relaxation experience.
